I know exactly what you mean...
The worst thing is that I often type without looking at the screen or
keyboard... and when you hit SPACE it acts as "OK" on a dialog box... you
may be running a download or something and what to see the final result, but
you've already closed the box by accident...
Pigging annoying... Maybe they should have a "Never let Windows
automatically change Focus" option
